A Little Ear-ee, Don’t Ya Think?

There are few things in this life that creep me out. However, there is one thing that will make me freeze solid not being able to utter a word, or will get me up on a chair screaming like a little girl–Spiders!

My fear of the Arachnid first came to being when I crawled under a house to fetch a baseball that had inadvertantly rolled under there during a neighborhood game on Chapman Street in Presque Isle, Maine, during a hot summer day. Even though I was last to be chosen as sides were picked, I was first to be elected to retrieve the only ball we had among us.

Peeking through the opening into the abyss, I could see the whiteness of the stitched orb in the distance. Crawling across the moist dirt like a solider during boot camp training, I made my way towards the ball. It was only after I picked it up that my eyes finally adjusted to the darkness. As I looked around, there were so many webs surrounding me with spiders of different sizes and shapes that they could not be counted. It was then that I noticed that were a few crawling on me. With a scream and a super-human like scurry I shot through the opening from which I entered with ball–amazingly–still in hand. Of course my friends laughed like no tomorrow, I mean who wouldn’t. Hence, began my fear of the eight legged creature.

When I stumbled across the story of a Chinese woman who went to the doctor because of intense itching inside her ear, my fears were once again justified.
